Added DiffLines:

* AudienceColoringAdaptation: While in the original novel, Franchise/{{Zorro}} wore a poncho, a sombrero, and a full-face mask and used a cavalry sword and a pistol as his main weapons, this film introduced the costume and weapons that have been used in all later adaptations, with even the original author Johnston [=McCulley=] [[RetCanon revising his newer stories to fit]]. Also, the 1920 movie implied his costume was red, it wasn't until ''Film/TheMarkOfZorro1940'' that it became definitively black. And finally, although Zorro's cloak billowing on horseback is the iconic image, the cape didn't arrive until ''Series/Zorro1957''.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDisplacement: The Creator/DouglasFairbanks version is the source for the classic costume of Zorro and the use of a RoyalRapier in place of a cavalry sword, and also influenced the author, who was still alive, [[RetCanon to revise his stories to use that costume]].
